The Assistant Secretary of the Navy (ASN) for Energy, Installations & Environment (EI&E), Phyllis L. Bayer, has submitted her resignation as she will retire from government and pursue other opportunities, effective March 30, 2019. 

The Department of the Navy applauds her service and is grateful for her extraordinary efforts this past year.

While Navy leadership has been recently evaluating options with this portfolio due to competing priorities, the Secretary of the Navy remains fully committed to the role and responsibilities. The Department has begun an active search for an equally qualified candidate to become the next ASN EI&E.
